badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

MODERATORS
 
  • Team Fortress 2 - Team Fortress Classic was pretty based back in the day. I know I was looking forward to the Valve remake before it came out. But let's be honest, Heavy's accent is super racist, and who the fuck was Sniper shooting back in Australia. And no one from New York sounded like Scout since 1948.

  • Red Dead Redemption - Can't accept reality that we're not riding ponies anymore. Probably a certain species of Amish.

  • Warhammer - Has no qualms about ordering tens of thousands of people to their deaths. Probably thinks that it's cool.

  • Tomb Raider - Has extremely unrealistic beauty standards. He'll judge you if you can't free climb a sheer cliff or DIY a bow and arrow from stuff around the campfire.

  • Civilization - Still hasn't gotten over Great Man Theory.

  • Project Zombiod - Not so secretly wants to kill everyone in the neighborhood.

  • Fallout New Vegas - If a person is so willing to mod the fuck out of a game to make it playable, they're going to try to change YOU at every turn.

  • Hitman - He's going to do an adventurism and the FBI will be knocking on your door before you know it.

  • Hades - Paternal issues. Also boys that obsess over Greek myths are just neo Christians or weebs by another name.

  • Vampire Survivors - Has the shortest attention span possible.

  • Subnautica -thinks that the Titan was a good idea

  • Plants vs Zombies - cares more about defending his backyard than he does about your feelings.

In summary, if your boyfriend has played any of these games for an hour, you should really break up with him.

spoilerIt's all just bait

This is a bad post because it would include every game ever to exist if it was good post. Do not date a g*mer

Simply don't date. You can even get hooked on map games, and not offend any partner.

World of Warcraft - i did 20 years in that prison, just trust me

Civilization only really got into great man theory with 5 and 6. Prior to that the most important factors were material, like what resources you had access to and what kind of environment your civilization was surrounded by. Civilizations greatest historical sin is whig history.

Of course, riding horses isn’t vegan either, so enjoy your animal abuse simulator AKA Red Dead Redemption.

Is the bit about Scout being from New York part of the bait?

If they play Overwatch they have absolutely 0 personality issues, no anger, are not sexist or chasers, and are completely capable of having a normal, healthy relationship with others.

the 30 minutes required for vampire survivors is massive in terms of modern attention spans

But I love moving big ships in three dimensions. Partly why I love Space Engineers so much!

grapplh hook fast doug-clap

I am completely serious when I say that every single person who baits on this site about "Zombie media is just you wanting to shoot poor people" is either a federal agent or someone who really likes jerking their brain boner too much

[–] Sulvy@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Hey Vampire Survivors takes some pretty intense concentration!

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

I was pretty sure it was a bit from the title alone, but starting by throwing shade at TF2 raised my blood pressure.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

as an exclusive menu gamer im safe

[–] FanofOatmeal@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I play TF2 and I've had Subnautica since like 2017 but never played it

that's it

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

It's pretty fun, tbh. But I will tell your partner to ghost you as soon as they can.
